17 year old Tasmanian Daniel Watkins lead the charge for the Australian’s winning individual Gold in the men’s K1 and C1 events, a fantastic display from the Derwent Canoe Club paddler who has emerged as an exciting paddler to watch over the coming years.

Watkins produced a scintillating fast run down the Sydney Olympic course in the men’s K1 final, recording the only sub 100 time to finish in 98.00, 3.77 seconds ahead of Chinese teenager Tao Yuan, with 18 year old Victorian Timothy Anderson finishing in third.

The women’s C1 final was an all-Aussie affair with 15 year old Derwent teenager Kate Eckhardt winning the gold medal in a dominant performance. Eckhardt finished more than five seconds ahead of fellow Tasmanian Erin McGilvray, with Fox taking home the bronze, her second medal of the day.
